HDD not showing up

I have a 120gb Kingston SSD and a 1TB WD Purple HDD in my system. All worked fine. I recently re-cable-managed my PC, taking out all the components then putting them back in, and plugged all cables, etc in.

Now, the SSD shows up in BIOS, and boots Windows fine. The HDD however, does not show up in the BIOS, Windows or MiniTool Partition Wizard. Does anybody have any fixes for this?

 

Thanks.

Is the Kingston an M.2 perhaps? Sometimes with M.2 SSD's, certain SATA ports get turned off.

Do you hear the HDD start spinning when you start up the PC? Have you checked both cables are plugged in correctly, the SATA data on either side and the SATA power on the HDD (and possibly PSU) side?
